I’ve watched my fair share of material from the 60s and 70s, mostly super robot shows for the 70s part but have gone through the 60s toei animation flicks too. Just started Koutetsu Jeeg today funny enough, opening and ending songs absolutely slap btw

Most "retro anime fans" start with the OVA boom of the mid 80s, which I have soft spot for of course, and if they get a little spicy they might go for the early 80s or even 78/79.

Some 70s stuff get a decent amount of interest, the 60s is lacking in subs. 68-72 was a really experimental period for the medium.

The first episode of Jeeg is incredibly visceral and full of rich but brutal line work. Nakamura Pro built up quite the pedigree over the years, but they were already a powerful subcontractor at that early stage.

Yeah, I'd love to watch more stuff from the 60s, but no one's willing to sub it. I made my anime club watch the first (the only one subbed) episode of Star of the Giants and they seemed to enjoy it. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to sub all 182 of the anime that invented filler, but man, there's a lot of weird, experimental shit in there. I'd like to watch at least some of it.

The first episode especially has a lot of creative mixing live-action and animation, like in this scene (sorry, don't know how to make a video of it)
